So do you think these chickens are just molting? The black chicken just went through a molt beofre summer...
 
Losing tail feathers is a normal part of molting and the severity of a molt as well as its duration can vary from chook to chook. If you think something else may be going on we'll need more info. though--How many chickens/how much space/what do they eat/how old are they/anything else you can think of.
